CFD General Notation System
ADF Implementation

Document Version 3.2.1

ADF was the original database manager for CGNS. As a result, the
structure of a CGNS database as described in the
SIDS File Mapping parallels
closely the functionality of the ADF library. The hierarchical nature,
and concept of a node and a link were taken directly from ADF.
The ADF database manager is always shipped and built along with
the CGNS library.

The complete ADF Implementation in HTML form
is available for installation on a local system.
This is a gzip'ed tar file (60K, 302K gunzip'ed), and may be downloaded

A dialogue box will appear for you to specify the directory and file name.
